Author: Kum. Ba. Sadashivappa

Place:  Bellary

Sri Sadashivappa has reasoned out the causes for the amalgamation of Bellary District prior to integration of Karnataka. It was the wish of freedom fighters and majority of Muslim populations for merger and they were against the divide and rule policy of English; Wrong statistics was presented about Telugu speaking people and the Congress party members made resolution at Nagapur conference held in 1920.The role of Karnataka Vidyavardhaka Sangha established in 1920’s also was an important factor in this regard.
